Hi everyone,

Do you follow fashion trends in Costa Rica? Every country and every culture has its own dress code. As far as you are concerned, have you changed the way you dress?

Can one easily find fashion boutiques in Costa Rica? Are clothes expensive there? Or cheap?

What do Costa Ricans usually wear or like to wear the most?

Share your experience!

The fashion in CR is very Trendy. Me in skinny jeans look...well not very manly! They seem to wear whatever the teen is without looking in the mirror. All fashion trends are NOT for everyone. Also not much selection if you don't like the current trendy clothes. The try to force feed you whatever THEY think you need. Priced not bad. Quality is iffy at best. As for me?!? I wear whatever I think looks good in me. I have my style and I like it. I'm mix in current with old school,kinda eclectic.....

I think someone from Escazu will have to answer this. LOL.
Where I live, we don't care one iota about fashion.
Most people wear the same old jeans and shirts week after week. Most people around here can't afford new clothes.
Fashion is something for people with a lot of money. I only know one guy like that - an attorney - and he lives in San Jose.
But honestly I don't think even he cares about fashion.
